Web Daemon Library

The source files in js and ts are re-exported in ./index.js which defines what global classes and functions are available in the library.

The library contains both browser-side symbols such as BrowserApp and agent-side symbols such as Lifecycle. Some symbols, such as Token, are used by both sides of an app.

Note the package.template.json (and the generated package.json if present) which show the published files are ./dist and the main file is dist/index.js.

Build

The library is distributed using npm, as a single bundled Javascript file in dist/index.js.

Build the distributable library using the toplevel make npm target, optionally providing the semantic version number:

• make npm
  • Builds the library with version 0.0.0-timestamp
  • Useful for interim and development releases.
• VERSION=14.3.2 make npm
  • Builds the library with the given version number.
  • Version must be major.minor.patch, where the major.minor must match the deployed tabserver version.
• make npm_publish
  • Publishes the previously build library on npm under its version number.

Use npm view webdaemon to view published versions. It seems to take a minute or so to reflect the latest published version sometimes.

Note that npm does not allow replacement of previously published versions, hence the use of the special version 0.0.0-timestamp for dev and trial purposes.
